General Information

About Second Presbyterian Church
Second Church is a historic church designed by noted area architect, Walter Myton, in 1897. Mr. Myton was a deacon in the church. The beautiful styling of the church and the wonderful acoustics are a tribute to Mr. Myton’s skill as an architect.

Second Church is a part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a denomination of Protestantism that emphasizes acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord. We believe in the Scriptures as the inspired Word of God. We also believe that each one of us is called into the Church by God to serve God in the world. It is through this relationship with God and with one another as the faith community that our lives are given meaning and purpose.
We are a small church. We believe that we have been called for a special purpose as part of God’s plan to have the gospel of love, preached and lived by Jesus, spread to others. We hope you will join us as we fulfill our mission.
